Teens are just super.<br />I feel for you on the state of public education. It's just miserable and not at all why I became a teacher.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06534639424668879187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5118560083272591706.post-83901240299421942902010-01-04T11:52:28.468-06:002010-01-04T11:52:28.468-06:00Oh my word.

Oh, and at lunchtimes. Oh, and in one or two of the lessons ... Keep going.

Cambridge is a mix of rich and poor, so the schools vary widely. It's a big difference from the wholesome suburban school where I was a student teacher.<br /><br />My first year in the district, I worked with a bunch of scary seventh-graders, who spewed similar sentences to your lovely students. That year had me so stressed, I wore a heart monitor for twenty-four hours to make sure I was okay. Since then, it's been much better. <br /><br />I feel for you.

Makes me wonder if I'll ever get a job because I sure don't want to be stuck in something I hate. Blah to all this education thats being wasted.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
